I'm still having problems with the standalones. I have tried it

standalone app.The Launcher standalone works fine but my "KTRiver"
livecode stack is present and will run but none of the images , audio
or text fields which are in the resources file show. It acts as if
they can't find the "filename".
I'm not sure I understand how you've set things up. Have you embedded
all these resources into a stack? If so, your standalone needs to
specifically open that stack so it is in the message path.
But it's usually better and more reliable to just make your resources
stack a substack of the main one before you build a standalone. Then you
don't have to worry about it, everything is always available. You don't
have to open anything or even show the substack.
Another way is to forget about a resources stack, and move all the
resources into files on disk. Then reference them by path in your
scripts. For images, you'd set the filename of the image object to the
path on disk. For audio and video, set the filename of a player object.
That's often the best way to handle it, and is usually less memory
intensive.
On second thought, maybe you are already loading files from disk. If so,
it's most likely a path problem. How are you referencing the files? Are
you using relative paths?
